Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m the author of two books: Flexible Demons and Psalms for the Apocalypse. Both are currently available on Amazon and other fine retailers. I enjoy the lake, the forest, camping, bonfires, stargazing and stoop-sitting. I am a night owl and a paranormal junkie. I enjoy the stranger things in life. I think life requires equal parts focus and humor.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Flexible Demons, a novel, deals heavily with the pull of the demons that exist within each of us – some more than others. Tackling stigmas like drug abuse, mental illness, and the pull of fame, Flexible Demons is a darkly humorous look into our own reflection.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I can’t really write when I want to – only when I need to.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
My biggest influences vary wildly, but in no particular order: Stephen King, Douglas Adams, Kinky Friedman, Edgar Allan Poe, John Keel, Frank Herbert and Hunter S. Thompson.
What are you working on now?
I’m currently working on a top secret project. Details to come…
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m not much of salesman. I’ve always just taken to the notion that it would be pretty cool for someone to read one of my books and feel a little less alone. That’s all. Twitter and Facebook are definitely my main avenues.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t concern yourself with audience. Find your voice and never apologize. if it’s good, people will appreciate it. Still, never stop learning. Feeling vulnerable through quality criticism is incredibly valuable and cannot be overstated.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“Money will buy you a fine dog, but only love will make it wag its tail.”
What are you reading now?
Strange things, mostly. Fascinating, inexplicable things.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Redemption Songs. I’m currently working on a new novel. I’m also piecing together another poetry collection. Next, I hope, is a bit of exposure. I can honestly say Flexible Demons deserves it.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
The Gunslinger by Stephen King (and I’d try to sneak the rest of the Dark Tower, too), The Mothman Prophecies by John Keel, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson, the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, and Dune by Frank Herbert.
